<strong>Chapter 1241: Chapter 1241: Changes in Three Years for Two People</strong>


    At the same time, an elderly man drove himself to the capital. He arrived at a luxury estate, intending to enter but was stopped by the gatekeeper.


    “Please show your ID.” The person looked at him seriously and said.


    Although this person was somewhat advanced in age, his body was still robust, his back straight, albeit slightly chubby. He was Gao Zhitao’s grandfather, Gao Mantang.


    Gao Mantang knew the rules here and immediately took out his phone to make a call. Within a few minutes, the gatekeeper came over to confirm his identity, checked his car, and then let him in.


    Gao Mantang drove to the vi at the back and entered with gifts.


    He was already very familiar with this ce.


    After entering the vi, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron took his gifts, and at that moment, there was an elderly man sitting in the first-floor hall who waved to Gao Mantang to let him sit down.


    The two were as enthusiastic as old friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while.


    “I have something to report to my old leader.” After the small talk, Gao Mantang got straight to the point.


    The elderly man, realizing this wasn’t the ce to talk, led Gao Mantang to the study and closed the door.


    “Mantang, we’re not young anymore. It’s time to take a rest. Let the younger ones handle the rest.” The person smiled at Gao Mantang.


    Gao Mantang also nodded and said, “There are still some things we need to do.”


    “Go ahead, what’s so important that you came personally?” The old man also sensed the seriousness of the issue; otherwise, Gao Mantang wouldn’t havee in person without any guards.


    Gao Mantang then exined the situation he hade to understand.


    The elderly man was quite shocked and furrowed his brow, “Mantang, you can’t say things like this lightly.”


    Gao Mantang patted his chest and said, “Old Chief, don’t you know me? When have I ever lied to you?”


    The old man also stood up with a furrowed brow, looking pensive. In the end, he sighed and said, “This matter must be thoroughly investigated before saying anything further.”


    At this time, in a dark room, Xiang Yu was doing push-ups.


    “Nine hundred and one, nine hundred and two…”


    Xiang Yu was shirtless, wearing only underwear, his muscles well-coordinated; if not for the scars on his body, he would look like a handsome bodybuilding champion.


    Xiang Yu didn’t know how much longer he would be detained; he had to ovee this environment and banish the pessimistic and world-weary thoughts from his mind.


    Just as he finished one thousand push-ups, he suddenly saw a small door below open, and someone delivered a meal.


    Seeing this, Xiang Yu dived forward and grabbed the person’s arm.


    Outside, someone shouted ‘Wow,’ and then forcefully tried to pull away.


    Xiang Yu held onto the person’s arm tightly and said, “Tell me what time it is, or else I’ll twist your arm off.”


    “It’s five o’clock in the afternoon, please let me go.” The person outside said in horror.


    The person was a guard here, who had been here for a long time and knew that those detained here were not simple individuals, and being grabbed filled him with deep fear.


    “Have you eaten?” Xiang Yu, alone and bored here, asked idly.


    “I’ve already eaten.” The person outside was slightly relieved of tension.


    “Why is there no sound outside? Are you guys zombies?” Xiang Yu asked.


    “You’re the only one detained here, naturally, there’s no sound.” The person outside replied.


    Xiang Yu asked a few more unrted questions and then let go of his hand. He then began to eat.


    After eating, Xiang Yu rested for a while and tried to sleep. Suddenly, he heard a voice from outside.


    “Xiang Yu, long time no see.”


    Upon hearing this voice, Xiang Yu sat up with a start. Although he had imagined meeting this person many times, he didn’t expect it to be in this manner.


    “You’ve finallye.” Xiang Yu stood up, looking towards the door.


    “The person I want to catch can’t escape.” Commander Cao appeared at the door, his head just visible in the observation window above.


    “If I said I was captured willingly, would you believe it?” Xiang Yu smiled, taking two steps forward.


    “Haha…” Commander Cao, seemingly very pleased, shook his head and sighed, “Xiang Yu, you can’t fool me; I know you better than that.”


    “Remember the old days…”


    Commander Cao started reminiscing about the past with Xiang Yu. When Xiang Yu first came here, he was naive and innocent.


    At that time, everyone thought Xiang Yu was a fool, but who would have guessed that he would grow to be who he is today.


    “Commander Cao, it’s been three years since you sent me to the city. Little did I know the promised three-year transformation would be this significant.” Xiang Yu chuckled bitterly.


    “Yes, the change is indeed significant. Did you know, I wanted to kill you back then? It was Qing Lang and the others who pleaded for you and offered their service to me that granted you a second chance.” Commander Cao expressed a nostalgic demeanor.


    The two stood as if old friends chatting, separated only by an iron door.


    “Actually, I quite hate you, I really want to end your life with one strike.” Xiang Yu said, smiling faintly.


    “I know, but you don’t have that ability now. Your fate is in my hands. You have two choices: die now, or submit to me.” Commander Cao said calmly.


    “Submit? How do I submit?” Xiang Yu appeared very naive, as if he was considering submission.


    “Haha, Xiang Yu, you’re still the same, don’t try that innocent act on me, it doesn’t work here.” Commander Cao seemed rather pleased.


    Xiang Yu clicked his tongue and said, “I know I can’t fool you, old man. There are some things I’m unclear about and want to ask you.”


    “Ask.” Commander Cao responded straightforwardly.


    Now Xiang Yu was like prey on a tter; he couldn’t escape.


    “What exactly is the Blue Shadow n? What’s the meaning behind the tattoo on your back?” Xiang Yu asked.


    Commander Cao paused for a moment, evidently not expecting Xiang Yu to know these things. He then stared coldly and said, “How do you know about these?”


    “I just guessed randomly. Don’t you know I can divine the future?” Xiang Yu chuckled.


    Commander Cao also gave a cold smile and said, “Actually, telling you now doesn’t matter, you’re a soon-to-be-dead man anyway.”


    “Yes, dying is actually a form of release.” Xiang Yu sighed, portraying a look of enlightenment.


    If an outsider saw this, they might think he was ready to be a monk, albeit a yful monk, the kind who gets to touch women.


    Commander Cao looked at Xiang Yu, suddenly feeling that Xiang Yu had a high level of enlightenment; it would indeed be a pity to just have him killed…
